Family Story Time in support of 60 Minutes for MS Friday 22 August 6.00pm

Join us for a special all-ages
family storytelling performance at Hurstville Library on Friday 22 August at 6:00pm. Talented performer Bronwyn Vaughn will delight children and
adults alike with her new show “My Fine Feathered Friends”, a delightful
story incorporating story, song, music, dance and puppetry. Please book online or at the library in
advance – tickets are for children only, but parents are welcome to attend.
This event supports “60
minutes for MS” and we encourage everyone attending to support this cause by donating online.

When
Ms Peacock falls asleep in the park, a passing bird lays an egg and flies away.
Ms P wakes to find the egg on her head, and she knows what she must do. She
keeps it warm and dry and, when it hatches, takes on the task of raising the
bird, teaching it all it needs to know through stories.

This
delightful and whimsical performance is based on stories about birds from a
variety of cultural sources – Chinese, African and Australian – and explores
the world of birds, looking at birds’ song, flight, intelligence and problem
solving, as well as broader themes of freedom and captivity, bravery,
ingenuity, friendship, and the close bond between humans and animals.
